NOT 38!

Her: I’ll be 38 in September!
Me: Me too! What is your actual birthday?
Her: The 21’st.
Me: Mine is the 9th.
Her: So you were born in 70, eh?
Me: Um… actually…I was born in 71. *starts counting with my fingers* OH SHIT! I’M NOT 37! I’M ONLY 36! This entire year I’ve thought I was already 37!
And that is why this is going to be the best birthday since turning 30. Because I am a year younger than I thought I was and that’s kind of awesome when you’re approaching 40.
Since I post pictures of what my children look like on the morning of their birthdays, I thought it was only fair I post one of what I looked like when I woke up this morning. You’re not imagining things. I really am that hot (Puff-ay!) and I really do have dandruff.

Happy Birthday!!!
And I’m NOT just saying this because we have to be nice to people on their birthdays… but I totally thought you were closer to 30 than 40. Like I would’ve guessed around 33ish. I guess that wouldnt make sense with the ages of your kids… but I never did the math (apparently, I am not a winner).

Just wanted to say thank you all for the birthday wishes. So nice to read.
Also, I really did think I was 37. I don’t know why. Somewhere during the year, I just forgot my age and would tell people I was 37. I blame my thyroid, of course.

Happy Birthday!
You can blame the forgetting on your thyroid all that you want. I do that all of the time. I was just at the doctor’s yesterday and they wanted to know my age and it took me a little while to figure it out. I didn’t help that my ears are all clogged and I thought she asked me what my H was? And I was all really confused. Luckily I can blame it on this cold.

ohwow miss virgo, we *(jenijen, shannon, grace, etc)* are having a little birthday party for ourselves. (mine is 9/20) Slumber party. Wi-fi, gourmet food, no men and no kids.
Want to come??????
But it’s at my place cause I’m oldest and bossiest. And my house is like a campground.

I remember the year my mother turned 39. She was sure she was 40. I made her a cake that said 39 and she told me I had gotten it wrong.
Once you hit 36, it’s just too hard to keep track anymore!Visit To Love, Honor and Vacuum today!

Happy Birthday!! Birthday morning pictures are the best you look fabulous! Your story was funny, I was able to trick my husband for almost a year that he was a year older than he was…until my Mom was talking about how old he was and told him you are not 42! You were born the same year as Erik (my brother). The jig was up! We still laugh about how I tricked him for all that time, ahh it’s the little things that keep a marriage alive! haha! He felt the same way you do like he got an extra year!
To SheilaG- I had our daughter thinking I was 25 until she was in 8th grade- one of her “friends” mom’s let that cat out of the bag!

Makes learning how to count when you were young all worth it, huh? You know this gives you a great argument you can present to your kids about how staying in school is cool and it’ll keep them young.
Happy Birthday. A ’71 baby here, too. I hear we better enjoy it because we will start falling apart after 40.

Happy Birthday Y!
I did the same thing last year, thinking I was 37 when I was still 36. Weird.. since I see there are others in your comments that did the same thing, maybe it has something to do with the year…?
Oh, and you look great in that photo – I would never dare to take one of myself upon first waking up. You so do not look 37!

Y – You look great!!! Happy Birthday and how awesome is it that you are actually a year younger then you thought you were? I was born in 79 and have thought I was a different age then I really am, but I have thought I was younger! That SUCKS!

Happy Birthday!
And HA!
I had a co-worker once who did the same thing…and it was her 40th birthday! I had to “break” it to her that she was only turning 39. Imagine the party plans that went down the drain!

Younger people never believe me when I say you forget how old you are when you get in your 30s. They look at me skeptically like I’m making it up. And depending on what day you ask, I’ll say the boyfriend is 41, or 42 or 43. He’s 42. Doesn’t look his age though, and neither do you! Happy belated, Y!

You can’t have dandruff. Aren’t you the lady who doesn’t wash her hair (with shampoo)? Are is it some other fabulous lady blogger I’m thinking of?
Well, I am 47 — really, I was born in 1961 and my birthday was in August — so my brain cells could be totally fried. Happy happy happy to you.

I’m 37 as well….Happy bday! You look awesome and remember your only as young as you feel. Although somedays i feel like i’m friggin 50 years old after coming home from a long day of work and kids! Ha Ha!
